What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 February 2024
Pupils say they are happy at this inclusive school. One child, typical of many, said, 'People are allowed to be unique and different in our school.' Parents and carers appreciate how welcoming the school is. They are greeted on the playground each morning by school staff who help them sort out any queries. Each term, parents are invited to join their children in school for the 'look into learning' sessions. Pupils enjoy showing off what they have been learning. Pupils say that they feel safe in school. The recently introduced behaviour policy teaches them to be 'ready, respectful and safe'. They like the routines that have been introduced such as 'amazing assemblies' and 'wonderful walking'. They say that these help them to follow the rules. Pupils know that if they are worried, there is always an adult on hand to sort problems out. The school ensures that all children experience different opportunities. Each term, children go on trips to support their learning, such as a visit to the local secondary school to dissect hearts. Visitors regularly come to school to help pupils learn. Pupils say that they learn something new every day in mathematics, which helps them solve harder problems.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum plans recently introduced identify the key knowledge to be learned. However, in some classrooms, the key knowledge that children need to learn is not made clear and the activities set for pupils to complete do not help them to learn this knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not learn and remember the key knowledge as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that staff have the knowledge and skills they need to focus on the most important knowledge in their teaching and help pupils learn that knowledge.
- In some subjects, assessment information is not used to inform the next steps of teaching. Where this is the case, teachers do not plan activities to address the gaps in learning. The school should ensure that teachers know how best to check closely on pupils' understanding in all subjects and then address any gaps in pupils' knowledge.
